What type of rhetorical strategies is this? How much more abuse from man can she stand Here are the types of Rhetorical Strategies
ANECDOTE: A very short story (usually a paragraph) used to illustrate a point. Usually contains action & dialogue and is longer than an example. Often used in expository essays to develop an idea. Used in persuasive essays as one method of developing pathos. It can also be used as a "hook" to draw a reader into a story.

DICTION:Word choice. Choice of words is one way in which to establish ethos in persuasion. Diction develops tone and style.

ETHOS:This is one corner of the "rhetorical triangle." In persuasion, this is the "ethical" appeal. It is created through devices (such as quotes from experts, personal credentials, establishment of common ground, avoidance of logical fallacies) to create this ethical appeal. A writer aims to make a reader trust him/her by creating ethos.

EXAMPLE: An example proves or develops your thesis. In expository essays it helps us understand a concept. In persuasion, it's used as "evidence" to prove a point. Example is typically shorter than an anecdote-one or to sentences as opposed to a paragraph (it also doesn't contain any scene material such as action or dialogue). This can create interest or emotion in a reader.

EXTENDED METAPHOR: A metaphor that is extended and used throughout an essay. You return to it multiple times and use it to develop your thesis. This can work like analogy to teach, or it can create humor, sarcasm, or tone.

HOOK:This device is created through the use of other devices such as anecdotes, quotes, startling fact, shocking statement, etc. Used to draw a reader into your essay.

IMAGE:Anything that can be related to with one of the five senses. If you can smell it, touch it, taste it, see it, or hear it, it's an image. Image connects a reader to an idea because it is a physical thing. It can be used to create emotion in a reader as well.

LOGOS: This is one corner of the "rhetorical triangle." In persuasion, this is the
"logical" appeal. It is created through devices (such as facts, statistics, quotes from experts, refutation, and deductive and inductive reasoning) to create this logical appeal. This creates a logical argument.

METAPHOR:The comparison of two or more unlike things. This is a direct comparison and creates a "transformation." For example: She is an aspen, slim in the wind. The "tenor" is "she" or the woman being described, and the vehicle is the "aspen"-the image used to describe the tenor. Metaphor aims to change our understanding of something by comparing it to something unexpected. You can transform an idea or thing with a comparison. For example, if I said "he is black ice" then I am suggesting he is dangerous and you may not see him coming.

PATHOS:This is one corner of the "rhetorical triangle." In persuasion, this is the "emotional appeal. It is created through devices (such as anecdote and image) to create this emotional appeal. This creates an emotional argument.

PERSONIFICATION:The act of giving human attributes to inanimate objects. For example: The rock wept for weeks following the storm. This is used to help a reader identify with an inanimate object.

POINT OF VIEW:In narratives, you choose 1st (I, we), 2nd (you) or 3rd (he, she, it, they) for your point of view. You also choose a "viewpoint character." Who is telling this narrative? Point of View can be used to sympathize with one side, to create distance, or to create closeness.

PRIMARY SOURCE:In Research: This is taking information from someone directly involved. For example, interviewing someone at the scene of an accident who saw it happen, or who was in the accident. (See secondary source.) This can be used to develop an idea or argument.

REFUTING THE OPPONENT:In Persuasion: This directly addresses arguments for the other side, and then refutes, or proves them wrong, inadequate, etc. This is created through the use of facts, quotes from experts, examples, etc. This is used to logically argue.

REPETITION:The repeated use of a word. Used for emphasis or rhythm.

SIMILE: A comparison of two or more unlike things using a comparative word such as "like" or "as." For example: She is as slim as an aspen tree. Simile aims to change our understanding of something by comparing it to something unexpected.

TONE:The writer's position toward the subject matter. For example, if I were arguing against oil drilling, my tone would reflect my position on the matter. Tone is typically created through diction, but image or figurative language can create tone too. Tone helps us understand the writer's stance on an issue.
